not sure about that missing bracket though... I did not fix the data quality with Alteryx, because I'd rather discuss a fix in the source

My solution! Fun challenge!! @gawa -san!

 

I found that the start input has a problem that doesn't contain the whole original input files.

Original File

This file contained an unnecessary comma at the end of the file, which caused a conversion error.


When I use the original files, I can get 48 cities at task 1(sample output is 41 cities).

I probably could have started with a union to just pull in both files...hindsight is 20/20.
